Answer Posted / perservance
it is used for earth fault protection,this kind of C.T
covers all the phases ,the secondary side of it is
connected to trip coil of CIRCUIT BREAKER.Under no fault
conditions the vector sum of all the three phase currents
is zero so no output to c.t secondary but when there is a
earth fault ,the sum would not remain zero and the trip
coil would act and circuit breaker would trip.
the disadvantage being that it would not detect phase to
phase fault,seldom used,not seen anywhere in my plant.

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
